Synopsis

Relationships in Progress is made up of six short plays portraying various people in relationships we all can relate to: first dates, co-workers, spouses, siblings, and friendship. Whether fun and light, serious and deep, or some combination of those, the characters deal with their relationships with one another as well as the world around them.

Collection of three linked sketches. No set requirements, simple props. The sketches could be presented together, or could be used separately (for example as front-of-curtain interludes in a sketch show).

Synopsis

Two ladies of dubious intellectual capacity discuss life, husbands and their impending motherhood in three encounters. Described by the author as a self-supporting companion to 'Rustics' by which he means that the concept is similar (this is the female counterpart), but the scripts are totally independent.

Collection of four sketches. No set requirements, simple props (and only two of those). The sketches could be presented together, or could be used separately (for example as front-of-curtain interludes in a sketch show).

Minimum Male roles = 5. Minimum Female roles = 2. Minimum total with doubling = 7. Minimum total without doubling = 51. Chorus.

Run Time

Around 60 minutes. [Estimated!] Period songs could be added to extend the run time.

Music

The script contains the lyrics to one song (to the tune of 12 days of Christmas) and suggestions for other songs which might be appropriate for the show. (Note that additional songs will add to the run-time.) Lazy Bee Scripts does not supply any sheet music with this script.
